HALF Talosa, Vin Santo di Montepulciano, Italy, 1996
From a careful selection of the best Trebbiano, Malvasia and Grechetto grapes picked in vineyards near Montepulciano in Tuscany in early October and dried for about four months before long ageing in small barrels.

Reminiscent of the delicious oozing appley juice off a Tarte Tatin. Too good for biscotti dunking, but a lovely drop to drink with cake - or any cheese, especially mild blue cheese.
